There are several outbuildings, a large barn and a heated swimming pool. A mowed path winds around the barn, revealing beautiful old trees, an ancient stone wall and a meadow of wildflowers and grasses. The original 100-acre farm, Mayo Duck Farm, stretched all the way to the shores of Nauset Beach and was an integral part of the Orleans Community for many years. There are 9 rooms in all, with 3+ bedrooms and two full baths and over 2100 square feet of living space. High ceilings and spacious use of glass create bright, sunlit rooms. Lovely architectural details throughout the house, including dentil moulding, built-in cabinets, a large pantry, wood floors and curved ceilings. Good mechanicals, recent roof and gutters and new 5-bedroom septic. Full basement with interior access. Oil heat and town water. Just .3 mile from world-famous Nauset Beach. A separate 1.05 acre building lot is also available. See MLS 21907314. First time, ever, on the market. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    "None People are very unfriendly and selfish. Very little kindness shown in this town. Speaking is not enforced in Orleans. Many people have been hit on bicycles including myself. This town is more business oriented than people oriented. Overall very unfriendly compared to nearby towns"

    "You must have access to personal transportation if you want to go farther than a mile or two in your day to day life. However this is a lovely area if you want to walk to the post office or to Friends Marketplace, or just across the street to the bank or Corner Store Burrito bar."

    "We have a very active Nauset Heights Association, with both an annual meeting and a business meeting, a summer sand sculpture event, a tennis tournament and a golf tournament. There is also our annual lawn party, at which most of the 200 members Appear. Finally, we do a community cleanup both once in the spring and once in the fall."

    "We have owned here 27 years, and lived here full-time for the past 10 years. The neighborhood is unique because it is low density, has homes of character, is quiet and for most of us is a five minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean. And most of us see it from our windows, and hear it almost always. Is that good or what?"

    "This is beach town with a ton of elderly so you have a HUGE tax base with a lot of money going to schools with very few kids. The schools are terrific as a result. Plus, kids can play outside, and out “back yard” is Cape Cod National Seashore. Not bad. Don’t tell anyone!! "

    "Neighborhood with year round residents in a beach town with a lot of seasonal people. Plus, we’re basically in a National Park. There are little stores and food available in East Orleans. ~3 miles to Nauset Beach. Year round on Cape Cod has turned out better than we could have hoped for. "

    "You should put things like 'ocean views', beach access, deeded rights, when figuring values. Stated values never seem to reflect such precious commodities, which are such a plus in these areas, in fact, one of the whole reasons people live here. "
